** Remember that potential WhatAnIdiot moment mentioned above? Well, now it warrants mention given the thought. [[spoiler:The Black Knights had been told about Geass, and it being a form of hypnotism, which especially has the stereotype of working more effectively on weak-minded people. They think they have been Geassed, which shows signs of still being effective for extended periods of time.]] \\

** Lelouch holds Rolo at gunpoint. Rolo then uses his Geass to freeze Lelouch in place and hold him at gunpoint instead. After all, the second he turns around, he can use his Geass on Rolo. \\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Rolo to just finish the job. The risk of Lelouch using the Geass on him is too great.\\
'''Instead:''' Lelouch sweet-talks Rolo, promising to give him CC if he lets him live, and Rolo spares him for this reason. The issue isn't that Rolo believes Lelouch's lies, or that he prioritizes catching CC, it's that the moment Rolo lets his guard down, Lelouch can just use his Geass on Rolo. Of course, Rolo was unbelievably lucky that Lelouch was just as incompetent as him.
** Lelouch has eye contact with Rolo, someone quite unstable who has killed hundreds of people and is a huge obstacle who will kill Lelouch if he ever fails to follow through with his promise.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Lelouch to Geass Rolo the second he could.\\
'''Instead:''' Lelouch comes up with this convoluted plan to manipulate Rolo by Geassing a solider into shooting Rolo, so that Lelouch can jump in front of the bullet and save Rolo (and if he fails to do so, Rolo will die, so either way, it will seemingly work out for Lelouch). Ignoring the fact that Geass is more efficient at controlling someone than emotional manipulation for obvious reasons, Lelouch is literally risking his whole life, severely crippling himself on the battlefield, hoping that Rolo will be convinced. On top of that, Lelouch is also hoping that no one ''else'' decides to attack Lelouch's damaged Knightmare before he is able to persuade Rolo. Despite this rather crappy planning, however, it all works out.

** Jeremiah is about to test his new Geass Canceller...\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Him to look at his surroundings, just in case someone is nearby.\\
'''Instead:''' [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom He doesn't.]] Resulting in him [[spoiler:accidentally cancelling Shirley's MindRape Geass caused by Lelouch, ultimately resulting in Shirley's murder by Rolo and ''all of the below happening'']].\\
'''Thankfully:''' The CompilationMovie retconned this, as Jeremiah ''actually checks his surroundings'' and warns Shirley to stay out of trouble for her own safety, indirectly saving her life in the process.

'''You'd Expect:''' Shirley to wait inside the police car and confront Lelouch later when it's safer. After all, the world's most feared terrorist should be capable of taking care of himself, right?\\
'''Instead:''' Shirley ignores [[PoliceAreUseless the police's safety who can't catch up to her]]. [[spoiler:She finds a gun and spills the beans to Rolo about Lelouch being Zero. Since Lelouch never had a brother, Shirley should have been suspicious of him. Rolo kills her since she knows too much.]]\\

** The Chinese Federation agree to marry off their empress to a Britannian prince, so that Britannia would have some control over the Federation and thus have the grounds to attack Zero. Lelouch tries to stop this wedding, but so does Xing-Ke, who organizes a coup.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Since Lelouch has the same goal as Xing-Ke (to stop the wedding), for him to ally with Xing-Ke or at the very least just let Xing-Ke do as much damage as he possibly can. If he succeeds, great for Lelouch. If he fails, a lot of damage would still be done and Lelouch can always just swoop in and proceed with his plan to hold the empress hostage.\\
'''Instead:''' Lelouch decides to hold the empress hostage '''WHILE''' Xing-Ke is enacting his coup. This not only turns Xing-Ke against him, but it literally gives the Chinese Federation grounds to attack Zero... ''which is exactly why he wanted to stop the wedding in the first place.'' Had he just let Xing-Ke do the dirty work, everything would have worked out for him.
** When the empress is kidnapped by Zero, the High Eunuchs need someone to stop Zero.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For them to get Britannia involved and send the Knights of the Round. They literally do this later on anyway, so nothing's really stopping them.\\
'''Instead:''' They decide to recruit Xing-Ke, knowing he'd have the incentive to stop Zero, by promising to give him a powerful Knightmare and pardoning all his crimes. This is ignoring the issue that Xing-Ke is steadfastly against the High Eunuchs so he could very well just turn on the Eunuchs and fuck them up (this doesn't happen but the risk was there).
** This is a crucial stage in the Eunuchs' battle against Zero. They have Xing-Ke on their side as well as the Knights of the Round.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For them to dispose of Xing-Ke after the fight. Since, well, he's a criminal who hates the Eunuchs.\\
'''Instead:''' They choose the worst time ever and turn against Xing-Ke ''during'' the fight, when he's a very powerful pilot with a great mech. Consequently, Zero recruits Xing-Ke and screws over the Eunuchs because of this.

** The OSI is sent to spy on Lelouch, someone whose memories were wiped and is not a threat whatsoever, in order to be able to catch C.C. Unbeknownst to anyone outside the OSI or Black Knights, Lelouch manages to manipulate most of the OSI over to his side, so naturally nothing concerning Lelouch's memories having returned has been reported.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For V.V to just stay put and wait. This is their best chance to get C.C, after all.\\
'''Instead:''' V.V decides to send an assassin, Jeremiah, to kill Lelouch. True, Jeremiah did end up defecting to Lelouch, but that's not the problem here (V.V had no way of predicting that). The issue is that V.V wanted Lelouch dead even though he is very effective bait for C.C and his memories being wiped means he's not an issue for Britannia. Even if he does get his memories back, that would be the perfect opportunity to get C.C. Of course, Lelouch did end up regaining his memories, but V.V had no way of knowing that.
